Nagoya in April

Nagoya Castle's cherry blossoms are best from late March to early April in many years, though timing varies, so check bloom news before you go. Golden Week starts on April 29, and travel begins to get crowded.

April was mild: 21°C by day, 10°C at night, the kind of range where you stop checking the thermometer. Nights ran about 10°C colder than the afternoons, so a layer earned its place in the bag. About 10 days a month saw rain, enough that a wet-weather plan was worth having. The driest year, 2009, had 5 rain days; the wettest, 2015, had 13.

Nights fell below 5°C on 3 days on average. April 2024 averaged 22.7°C by day, 2.1°C above the 20-year mean. The lowest night on record was 0°C in 2012.
